[LINK] ALRC Issues Paper: Copyright and the Digital Economy

[David Boxall]

This Issues Paper is the first formal publication of the Inquiry, 
intended to help frame discussion and encourage public consultation at 
an early stage. It provides background information about copyright in 
the digital environment, highlights the issues so far identified in 
preliminary research and consultations, and outlines the principles that 
will shape the ALRC’s proposals for reform. It asks more than 50 
questions about how the current copyright framework is affecting both 
commercial and creative enterprise and how current exceptions and 
statutory licences are working in the digital environment.

We invite individuals and organisations to make submissions in response 
to the questions contained in the Issues Paper, or to any of the 
background material and analysis.

The closing date for submissions is 16 November 2012.
